<H1>Platform-Specific Details:
    Changing the Mailcap Specification of "plain/text"</H1>

UNIX:
<P>
Generally, per-user configuration of mailcap is done
in a file named <samp>~/.mailcap</samp>.
If you have no such file, contact your system administrator
to find out where your mailcap information is.
<ol>
<li> In your mailcap file,
     find the line beginning with "text/plain".
     For example:
<pre>text/plain; /usr/openwin/bin/textedit %s </pre>
<li> Comment out the line (using the '#' character) or delete it.
     For example:
<pre>#text/plain; /usr/openwin/bin/textedit %s </pre>
</ol>
